The Preacher still inspiring the flock

Do you have tickets for it yet?

Are there still seats available for me?

Maybe we can have a beer and watch it together, you know, all of us.

"I told them we're going out in a blaze of glory. We're not limping off into the sunset," CU coach Dan Hawkins was quoted as saying in a B.G. Brooks' story in the Rocky Mountain News.

Now, you know I have taken up arms for Hawkins and his staff but color me, well, doubtful to this blaze-of-glory show I see up on the marquee.

Ain't happenin'.

Pessimist?

You think so?

Only because the offense doesn't have a "Sparky" at quarterback and the receivers are apparently discount-bin variety.

The running game works and could be better than good if the passing game functioned. It doesn't. Wonder what the return policy at Wal-Mart is?

Fact is the Buffs are stumblin' home, like a fraternity boy. Just getting there alive is success.

Let's just close out this season with some effort and improvement, seeing who wants to be here next season and then finish up strong recruiting.

There will be highlight moments, but the wins, well, might not be there. Hopefully one more a coming. Don't wish for Christmas what Santa Hawkins can't deliver.
